The Name Is "Jeremiah!"

Apparently our dear friend 'Miah does not enjoy being called by that moniker.

"My name is 'Jeremiah.'"

We all call him "'Miah." His friends call him "'Miah." And even his mother calls him "'Miah."

"But that's not my name."

And but why the sudden insistence of having himself called by his Baptismal name? Why allow us to go on for so many years calling him by the nickname that everybody knew him by?

As someone who does not care for nicknames, I can fully appreciate this young man's sentiment.

But God! Calling Jeremiah by this nickname is an old habit that's going to die a hard death.
